What's your idea of retirement?

Re: What's your idea of retirement?

My idea of retirement: Wishing I were in better health to do things that I want to do, dealing with pain everyday, being upset by all the death of friends and family that's happening while simultaneously wishing people would visit me more and leave me alone more.

My ideal of retirement: Not my idea of retirement.

Re: What's your idea of retirement?

buying and reading every book on my amazon wishlist (currently 300+ and over $10,000; I have a lot of textbooks on there.)

assuming 20 pages per hour (for technical books, this is generous) it would take anywhere from one to six years of reading every day for 8 hours. most likely two to six years though; a graduate-level comprehensive exam in philosophy covers about 75 books and is supposed to give you the cred you need for your master's, so something like six years is entirely possible.

then, taking that knowledge and applying it to the real world via either writing or investing or advocating.

alternative retirement: constant sex/parties/orgies via some massive recruitment program that only recruited people of certain personality types who are best suited for it. utter debauchery on what is essentially a sex island.

You can do that right now, though. It would actually be more time-effective to do it before you retire, since the mind deteriorates as you age unless you keep it active, and because you will make a lot of money in the process of doing so.

I realise you are actually a faux-intellectual and half-joking, but I'll keep this advice here in case it might help you.

Re: What's your idea of retirement?

I seriously only think about this everyday for 10 years, i cannot wait to be hold( if i even ever get there, i'm a big smoker) anyways, doing nothing all day and having cash comming ure way.....fucking paradise, i'll just sit on my porch and smoke weed cigarettes. Fuck, if someone is bored when they retire, they seriously need to revisite what is fun and what isn't fun about life, seriously, even if u love your job....u're still working and forced to be there, so u can make moneyh and pay ure depts, otherwise, why the fuck would a sain person work. Jeez. Socialised sheeps open your eyes.

P.S.: Find me an old rich woman to take care of me, i do not mind returning the favor in nature.
